Grass-Fed Beef
100% Grass-fed
Grass-Fed Traditions currently supplies 100% grass-fed beef from small-scale family farms in Wisconsin. Our
cows are all grass-fed Angus and Galloway (mostly Galloway). How do we define “grass-fed?” The cows are on pasture,
not in feed lots eating silage. They are also finished on grass, and do not eat grains at all. We don’t process
animals in the winter or early spring, when they are only eating dry grass. Our animals are eating green grass right
up to the time of processing, and are dry aged before packaging. Many sources of “grass-fed” beef today are simply
from cows in feedlots eating silage year round.
The CLA Advantage
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring free fatty acid found mainly in meat and dairy products in
small amounts. CLA was discovered by accident in 1978 by Michael W. Pariza at the University of Wisconsin while
looking for mutagen formations in meat during cooking. The most abundant source of natural CLA is the meat and dairy
products of grass-fed animals. Research conducted since 1999 shows that grazing animals have from 3-5 times more CLA
than animals fattened on grain in a feedlot. Simply switching from grain-fed to grass-fed products can greatly
increase your intake of CLA. (Dhiman, T. R., G. R. Anand, et al. (1999). “Conjugated linoleic acid content of milk
from cows fed different diets.” J Dairy Sci 82(10): 2146-56.)
Omega 3’s
Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid for human growth and development. We must have it to be healthy. Grass-finished
beef is a great source for this essential nutrient. The source of Omega 3 is the green leaves of plants. When cattle
eat their natural diet, beef becomes a great source of Omega 3. Grain is not a rich source of Omega 3, so standard,
cattle-finishing practices cause the Omega 3 level to decrease dramatically.
Galloway Cattle
Galloway cattle are an ancient breed that originated in the rugged hill country of southwestern Scotland. They are
related to the Angus which was developed in northeastern Scotland. While the Angus was selected for rapid growth on
better feed, the Galloway was selected for its ability to thrive on poor forage in a cold wet climate. They were
first imported to the states in the 1850s. They are still rare in North America, and worldwide only number about
10,000. Their popularity is now increasing with the renewed interest in grass-fed and grass-finished beef.
The Galloway, unrivaled as a grazing breed, utilizes coarse grasses frequently shunned by
other breeds. They have the ability to produce a high quality beef product directly from grass. Due to the breed’s
naturally dense, insulating coat the Galloway does not layer on excessive outside fat. Results of a multi-breed
research project conducted by a Canadian Government Experiment Station, reveal that the Galloway ranks second only
to the Buffalo in hair density tests. The robust, hardy nature of the Galloway is especially suited for northern
harsh climates. The claim that Galloway beef is juicy, tender, and flavorful is substantiated in recent USDA tests
of Galloway crossbreds, when compared with eleven other breeds. Results of the Cycle IV Germ Plasm Evaluation (GPE)
Program at the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska, showed the Galloway crosses placing
at the top of the chart for flavor, juiciness and tenderness.1
